Bacon Dressing Preparation
- Place the bacon in a medium nonstick skillet and fry over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 8 to 10 minutes.
- While the bacon cooks, in a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, honey, mustard, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- Using a slotted spoon, transfer the cooked bacon to a paper towel–lined plate.
- Pour the bacon fat into a heatproof bowl, then return 4 tablespoons of the bacon fat to the skillet. Add the shallots to the skillet and cook over low heat, stirring frequently, until softened, 1 to 2 minutes.
- Add the bacon fat and shallots from the skillet to the vinegar mixture and whisk to combine.
Salad Assembly
- Add the spinach and mushrooms to the dressing and toss to coat evenly.
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper, if necessary.
- Divide the salad between 4 plates or bowls; evenly divide the egg and cooked bacon among them.
- Serve immediately.
